Crime Two Thai Women Caught Sneaking Across Border After Gambling Losses in Cambodian Casino
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Two Thai women have been arrested after attempting to illegally re-enter Thailand by climbing over a barbed-wire fence along the Thai-Cambodian border. The pair reportedly lost all their money gambling in a Cambodian casino and had to pawn their passports, leaving them stranded without proper travel documents. The incident occurred late at night on 21 June, when a patrol unit from the Burapha Task Force, under the Aranyaprathet Special Unit and the 12th Ranger Regiment (Company 1201), was conducting routine surveillance near the permanent border checkpoint at Ban Khlong Luek in Pa Rai Subdistrict, Aranyaprathet District, Sa Kaeo Province. The patrol team spotted two Thai nationals attempting to cross from Cambodia into Thailand through a barbed-wire barrier. The women were detained immediately and subjected to initial questioning. They were identified as Ms. Juthawan, a resident of Bangkok and Ms. Panadda, from Khon Kaen Province. Ms. Juthawan admitted that she had travelled legally to a casino across the border in April 2025 through the Ban Khlong Luek checkpoint, but after losing all her money gambling at “Holiday Casino,” she had to pawn her passport to the casino. Ms. Panadda confessed that she had previously entered Cambodia via a natural, unofficial route in August 2023 and had similarly found herself stranded after losing her job and gambling losses. Both women stated they wished to return to Thailand but lacked travel documents. They agreed to cross back illegally through a natural border route, which ultimately led to their arrest. Authorities have taken both women into custody for further legal proceedings. The Burapha Task Force reminded the public to refrain from using illegal border crossings, citing the risks to personal safety and the importance of maintaining peace and order along the frontier.

Community Man Found Dead After Domestic Dispute, Wife Discovers Body After Two Days
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 42-year-old man was found dead in his bedroom in Samut Prakan after an apparent suicide, two days after a domestic argument with his wife. The discovery was made when his wife, concerned by his prolonged silence, climbed a power pole to peer into the room and was shocked to find his lifeless body. Police from Mueang Samut Prakan Police Station, along with forensic officers, rescue workers and medical personnel, responded to reports of a deceased individual at a townhouse in the area. Upon arrival, they found the body of Mr. Supakit lying on his back on the bed in a state of early decomposition. A gunshot wound was found on his temple, and a revolver, believed to be a pen gun registered to the deceased, was discovered nearby with a spent casing still in the chamber. According to his 37-year-old wife, the couple had a quarrel over dinner, following a period of frequent disagreements over the past two weeks. She stated that although arguments were not unusual, they typically reconciled soon afterwards. However, when her husband entered his room that night, she later heard a loud noise but assumed he had thrown something in frustration. Concern grew when he failed to leave the room the following day. Their child knocked on the door to ask if he would drive them somewhere, as he usually did, but received no response. It wasn’t until 22 June, 2 days later, that the wife decided to investigate more closely. Unable to gain entry, she climbed a power pole and looked through a window, where she discovered his body. “I didn’t think he would ever do something like this,” she said tearfully. “He went to work every day, he was responsible. I just thought he needed space.” Police have recorded the incident and collected evidence from the scene. The body has been sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy. Authorities have not ruled out any possibilities as they continue their investigation, although early indications point towards suicide. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-23 -

Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
True, in order to get an IDP you need to have a valid driving licence from your own country, you have to use that IDP until it expires in Thailand, When I arrived in Thailand I was able to use the IDP for a year (in the case of a UK produced IDP) you are not allowed to use your own countries driving licence, then the British licence was used to get a Thai driving licence, the IDP is not exchanged for a Thai licence, the British licence was used as you stated above. There was a German national with a German driving licence and the problem was it had not been translated into English, so that is an extra step for a non-English translated licence.
